About our guest:
I have always been an animal lover, growing up on a farm instilled this love from an early age. We always had cats at home growing up, I’ve even assisted during some difficult kitten births. My grade school graduation gift was picking my own kitten from my aunt’s litter. He was a handsome grey kitty named Charlie; this was my first of many. Currently, I have 2 fur babies and 3 human babies, I’ve even managed to corrupt my husband into a cat lover!
I’ve had many different careers in my years from Canadian Armed forces Reservist to Early Childhood Educator to secretary and now owner of Cat Sitter Toronto Inc. When I was given the chance to become owner of CST Inc., how could I possibly say no? This is the perfect job and business for me. I truly have a passion for cats and strive to bring more recognition to being a professional pet sitter.
